Every picture tells a story. That’s why I’m a photographer—I want to tell stories with my camera. I want to capture the moments that other’s miss because they’re too focused on tomorrow, or too absorbed in the craziness of their own lives. But moments happen all the time. The trick is to see them. When I carry my camera, I can see them. Whether I wander the city streets or backpack trails cutting through wilderness, if I have a camera, I notice moments, and I try to capture them with the quick clicks of my shutter. Stories really are everywhere. Writers reveal them with their words, artists with their canvases, and photographers with their pictures. I’m a photographer and my vision is the capture the story told by the moment http://russyoungphotography.smugmug.com/photos/593807944_2Zcqr-Ti.jpg http://russyoungphotography.smugmug.com/ 2009-09-13T11:36:24Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
